Falconedge becomes latest Bitcoin strategy adopter before IPO

A new name in institutional crypto finance has launched with the aim of putting Bitcoin at the centre of treasury strategy for hedge funds and digital asset firms.

Falconedge is a spinout from London-based Falcon Investment Management, one of the UK’s most experienced players in regulated crypto investing, and becomes the latest in a series of UK companies to adopt a ‘Bitcoin treasury’ strategy.

It is building a focused platform that blends Bitcoin treasury advisory with hedge fund consulting.

This follows in the footsteps of firms such as Cel AI Plc, a firm once backed by David Beckham which began life as a CBD beauty products firm but has pivoted to GenAI-generated beauty advice – recently raising £10m in a share placing specifically to buy Bitcoin.

Another business building a Bitcoin treasury is Guildford-based The Smarter Web Company, which recently spent almost £20m acquiring more BTC.

Falconedge has adopted it as its primary treasury reserve asset, citing its strength as a store of value, long-term growth potential and protection against inflation.

Falcon Investment Management, the company which it has spun out from, was one of the first firms in the UK to launch a regulated crypto fund back in 2018. 

At its peak, it managed over $850m in digital assets and went on to launch one of the earliest and most successful DeFi-focused funds in 2021.

The launch follows a successful pre-IPO raise, with Falconedge now preparing to go public in September. 

Most of the funds raised will go straight into building its Bitcoin treasury.

“We’re proud to launch Falconedge as a next-generation platform that puts Bitcoin at the heart of institutional treasury strategy,” said Roy Kashi, CEO of Falconedge. 

“This pre-IPO raise positions us to accelerate growth and deepen our impact in digital asset finance.”
